Game Thread #1 tOSU at Washington, Sat. Sept. 27th, 3:30 ET, CBS

Just keep getting better at making teams pay for the way they are selling out to try and manage the Mutant out at WR.

As you get better at that, Throw Him The Goddamned Ball.

The only danger I can see here (outside of BMW stuff) is Day trying too hard to be balanced and falling into his rock fight sins of the past. It is what is, it's his thing. Everyone has one.

It all comes back to him balancing the gas/brakes between nice guy/conservative Ryan Day and ruthless/fuck it Ryan Day.

My advice is to err on the side of ruthless aggression but he's earned the trust at this point.

Quick thoughts on the offense.

- It did my (elder) millenial heart well to see tOSU back under center.
- I would LOVE to see more passing structures and misdirection runs from UC. Your strongest play action game is also there as well.
- There is a deliberate and slow(er) pace to this offense. I'm just not entirely sure as to the 'why?' yet. I hate the new era 'anxiety' offense and go-go-go. But some more of increased tempo at times would help to improve some things.
- If this is now and outside zone favored offensive line, need to see some conviction to it that would setup the natural bootlegs, misdirection and vertical passing off of it.

I don't know Indiana's schedule, but beating Illinois as badly they did, I wouldn't be surprised to see them in the playoff again.
I didn't see enough of their win over Iowa, so that may change my mind.

They play Oregon and Ped State. If they lose their 2 games depending on how the rest of the country shakes out they could sneak in with 2 losses

Give Franklin credit for this: He didn't throw Aller or his team under the bus. He took the blame for the loss.

I think Ohio State will give him a second chance to be so magnanimous.

Hopefully Ped State used up all their voodoo magic of somehow making a game against a high end opponent closer than it shoulda been in this one

Here are excerpts from Fisch's opening coments:

It was 7-3 at halftime ... We had one possession in the third quarter, one seven-play drive that ended in a field goal ... It felt like a very fast game, didn't feel like a lot of possessions....

There were a lot of valid reasons for Ohio State to play a low-scoring, grind-it-out game against Washington (see specifically the posts by @buchtelgrad04 ). A further reason was for the Buckeyes to impose their will on the Huskies. Washington wanted a fast-paced game with many scoring opportunities, not a "very fast game" with few possessions. Washington's only real hope was to win a shoot out, and having "one seven-play drive that ended in a field goal" in the third quarter was definitely not in their recipe for success. For the entire second half, Washington ran only 23 plays for 89 yards (3.9 average) and scored just three points. The Buckeyes ran 38 plays for 209 yards (5.5 average, but with a long of just 19 yards, meaning consistent gains with no big plays) and scored 17 points while bleeding the life out of their opponent. Tresselball triumphs again!
